Add the "-q" command-line switch

[sov44]

Add the "-q" command-line switch to quietly unpack SumatraPDF_x.x.xxxxx_prerelease.exe to the specified directory.

We have -x <dir> option in installer to extract files to a <dir>.

We have -s option for silent / quiet installation. I just fixed to to also not print anything to console for -x

3.6 is now "out" and AFAIK the only reliable way to not get a visible console write is to "not have a visible console" so there are several ways to run command,exe in a silent fashion so try the fastest

echo CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "SumatraPDF-3.6-install.exe -s -x",0,True > "%tmp%\a.vbs" & wscript //nologo "%tmp%\a.vbs"

or with delete

echo CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "SumatraPDF-3.6-install.exe -s -x",0,True > "%tmp%\a.vbs" & wscript //nologo "%tmp%\a.vbs" & del "%tmp%\a.vbs"

Thank you, I know this method. But I would like to have a command line switch to disable the output of all messages when unpacking a file into a specified directory.
I'll wait.

will be fixed in next build / release
